Chapter 340: The Hu Family's Decision

Seeing Li Kun die, Xiong Buyu and Hu the Second, who were standing nearby, turned pale with fright.

Large beads of cold sweat dripped incessantly from their foreheads.

Li Kun was the number one expert below the Martial Venerable Realm.

And yet, he was killed in an instant without even making a move.

Su Mo said flatly, "Second Elder, I'll leave the rest to you. I won't interfere further."

"Yes!"

The Second Elder couldn't have been happier to hear that.

Every time Su Mo attacked, it was devastating. If he hadn't restrained himself this time, he would have already smashed the Golden Sun Sect into ruins.

If that had happened, they wouldn't have been able to obtain so many Treasures.

The Second Elder announced coldly, "Listen up, members of the Golden Sun Sect! I will give you a chance to live, but you must renounce the Golden Sun Sect."

"I quit! I swear to never join the Golden Sun Sect again."

"I quit too!"

"Everyone, let's just quit. The Golden Sun Sect has been destroyed. There's no reason for us to stay."

Without hesitation, the crowd announced their withdrawal from the Golden Sun Sect.

Since they could live, they naturally weren't going to choose to die for nothing.

That would just be idiotic.

The Golden Sun Sect had been dismantled until only the main hall remained. The rest had been turned into barren mountains, so staying was pointless.

Seeing everyone quit the Golden Sun Sect, Xiong Buyu raised his hand and said, "I... I also quit the Golden Sun Sect."

"Not you!"

the Second Elder refused.

Xiong Buyu asked, confused, "Why?"

The Second Elder replied indifferently, "Because you're the leader of the Golden Sun Sect!"

Having watched the Golden Sun Sect be destroyed, Xiong Buyu would surely hold a grudge and lead the remaining forces to stage a comeback.

Therefore, Xiong Buyu had to die.

As long as Xiong Buyu was dead, the others wouldn't be able to stir up any major trouble.

BANG!

A cold glint of light flashed, and Xiong Buyu's head exploded.

He died full of hatred!

The Golden Sun Sect had stood in the Central Province for over two thousand years in peace, only to be destroyed by a junior in the end.

Seeing Xiong Buyu killed, Hu the Second knew the situation was hopeless and irreversible. He prepared to slip away quietly.

"Hey, big guy, you can't leave!"

Xiao Lin blocked his path.

Hu the Second's heart skipped a beat. He forced a smile and said, "Young man, I'm not from the Golden Sun Sect, so I don't need to swear an oath."

"Oh, so you're not from the Golden Sun Sect. No wonder I didn't see you take the oath."

Xiao Lin said flatly, "Alright, I'll let you off the hook."

They were here to take revenge on the Golden Sun Sect, not to slaughter the innocent. There was no need to wipe everyone out completely.

Besides, the man wasn't even a member of the Golden Sun Sect.

Xiao Lin warned, "Be more careful in the future. Don't associate with a villainous Sect like the Golden Sun Sect, lest you bring trouble upon yourself. After all, not everyone is as kind as our Xiao Family."

'Kind?'

The corner of Hu the Second's mouth twitched violently, and he barely stopped himself from cursing out loud.

'Wiping out a dozen families in one day and dismantling the Golden Sun Sect into a wasteland... you call that kind?'

'Do you have any shame at all?'

However, he could only complain inwardly. He didn't dare say it to their faces, or he'd be slapped to death.

Hu the Second forced another smile. "Your lesson is well-received, young man. Rest assured, I, Hu the Second, will definitely have no further dealings with the Golden Sun Sect."

With that, he turned to duck into the main hall.

"Wait!"

Xiao Lin stopped him. "What did you say your name was just now? Hu the Second? Does that mean you're from the Hu Family?"

"I..."

The color drained from Hu the Second's face instantly.

He had been too nervous.

He had misspoken and failed to realize it in time.

"So you really are from the Hu Family."

The corner of Xiao Lin's mouth twitched.

'I was almost tricked by this guy.'

Xiao Lin said coldly, "Since you're from the Hu Family, you can die here."

BANG!

With a violent explosive sound, Hu the Second was smashed into a bloody pulp.

Demolish the main hall!

As everyone was nearly finished dismantling the main hall, a Teleportation Array set up inside was exposed.

"There's a Teleportation Array here?"

Xiao Lang said in surprise.

Xiao Lin said, "It probably leads to the Hu Family. I just found a guy named Hu the Second who was trying to escape through here."

Hearing this, everyone's faces lit up with joy.

The Hu Family?

Weren't they the next family on their list to destroy?

Perfect, we can teleport right over!

Xiao Lang said, "I'll take the lead."

After speaking, Xiao Lang jumped directly into the Teleportation Array and arrived in the Hu Family's main hall.

A large crowd was gathered here.

Seeing Xiao Lang teleport in, the members of the Hu Family were all stunned for a moment before looking him up and down.

Seeing that Xiao Lang's Realm wasn't very high, they relaxed.

'He must be a disciple from the Golden Sun Sect.'

A young man clapped Xiao Lang on the shoulder and said, "Brother, how are things at your Golden Sun Sect now?"

"Who's your brother? Let go!"

Xiao Lang said coldly.

The young man paused, retracting the arm he had placed on Xiao Lang's shoulder. "Fine, I won't call you brother. But you have to tell me what's happening with the Golden Sun Sect..."

"The Golden Sun Sect has been destroyed!"

Xiao Lang said flatly.

What?

The young man said in shock, "Weren't there four Half-Step Martial Venerable experts from the Haoyue Sect at the Golden Sun Sect? How could it have been destroyed?"

"You mean those four old geezers?"

Xiao Lang chuckled. "The four of them were crushed to death in less than a second. And that was with our side holding back, not even using their full strength."

Hearing this, the young man was completely dumbfounded.

Four experts at the Half-Step Martial Venerable Level, crushed to death in less than a second, and their opponent wasn't even at full strength.

'Is he for real?'

'It sounds like something out of a fantasy.'

The young man took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. "Then what about Elder Li Kun? He's the number one expert below the Martial Venerable Realm. Even if a Martial Venerable expert showed up, they couldn't possibly..."

"Li Kun was killed in an instant before he could even make a move."

Xiao Lang answered truthfully.

Everyone present drew in a sharp, cold breath.

'Li Kun died without even making a move?'

'This has to be a joke.'

'Could it be? Did their opponents dispatch a Mid Stage Martial Venerable, or even a Late-Stage Martial Venerable Level expert?'

'How else could this be explained?'

The young man calmed himself, his expression turning resolute as he addressed the crowd. "Everyone, you heard him. Elder Li Kun is dead."

Everyone nodded in unison, indicating they had heard.

The young man continued, "At this point, if we want to survive, our only option is to destroy the Teleportation Array and flee for our lives."

"What? You want to destroy the Teleportation Array?"

"How can we do that? Don't forget, our family's Second Elder is still at the Golden Sun Sect."

"If you destroy the Teleportation Array, the Second Elder won't be able to return."

the crowd said, their expressions troubled.

The young man said gravely, "I know the Second Elder is at the Golden Sun Sect, but right now, our only choice is to sacrifice him. Otherwise, if the enemy follows the Teleportation Array here, none of us will survive."

"You actually want to sacrifice the Second Elder?"

"How dare you!"

"What the hell gives you the right? Who do you think you are to unilaterally decide to sacrifice the Second Elder? Don't you think you're going too far?"

"Hu Hill, the Second Elder has always treated you well! Are you trying to be an ungrateful, backstabbing bastard?"

Their eyes bloodshot, everyone glared furiously at the young man, Hu Hill.

Hu Hill clenched his fists. "I know the Second Elder has treated me well, but I care more about saving our family. If we don't do this, the Hu Family will undoubtedly be annihilated, and all of you will die too."

"This..."

Hearing that they themselves would also die, they all hesitated.

Just then, an old man walked in from the entrance and said, "Hu Hill is right. We must destroy the Teleportation Array. Immediately. Right now."
